The Story: The Battle Begins

The Israelites are finally getting ready to enter the promised land. But behold: this is not vacant land! It may be the Israelites’ promised land, but it also is the home of those who currently live there. And while it looks enticing to those who have been wandering in the desert for 40 years or longer, the people who currently live there will not give up that easily.

By themselves, the Israelites will not be able to win against the people and cities in the promised land… it’s like attacking a medieval fortress with a tea spoon. But in the hands of God, tea spoons become excavators. And fortress walls become 2×4’s and drywall.

Where in your walk with the Lord do you need to be persistent, and go where you are not always welcome? What are the obstacles you must overcome, and the proverbial dragons you must slay?
